Dick Taylor's Story and Philosophy
“Deeply rooted in a background of woodworking and boat building, we have always loved working with our hands. The concept of craft has been a guiding principle in our lives from the beginning. After hearing about what was going on in the young and growing American craft chocolate movement, we were drawn to the common threads we saw in working with wood and crafting chocolate from bean. We became fascinated with a new challenge and loved the idea of reinventing the chocolate experience. In 2010, we bought some small-scale equipment and began making chocolate.”

Dick Taylor's Bean-To-Bar Secrets
Crafting Excellence
“The most hands-on approach we could take was to start with the raw cacao. We are able to source the finest fairly-traded cacao and perform all the steps in-house to turn the raw ingredients into delicious chocolate, all in our small factory in Eureka, California. This entire process takes approximately three weeks to complete but allows us to make some of the finest chocolate possible. We use organic cacao and organic cane sugar in our chocolate. By not cutting corners or taking shortcuts in our process we are able to leave out vanilla, additional cocoa butter or other emulsifiers, in hopes of capturing and highlighting the subtle flavor nuances in the cacao we source from around the world. We hope you will get as much enjoyment eating our chocolate as we do making it.”

What Their Customers Say
“Dick Taylor 72% Toledo from Belize. A crisp bar that flexes into toffee and green bananas, with a hint of lemon on the long, bright finish.”
– The New York Times
“Dick Taylor’s 72% dark chocolate bar from a single Madagascar estate should be savored during a slow melt on your tongue, never chewed. The richness of flavor is incomparable and my new favorite. I do feel guilt over the carbon footprint involved in transporting chocolate over such a distance which is another reason to enjoy every little bite and make it last.”
– LT
“Incredibly delicious, satisfying and beautiful to behold. This is an incredibly satisfying bar with complex layers of flavor and depth. It’s amazingly rich…a little goes a long way. That’s one thing to know when buying artisanal, high end chocolate: because it’s such a different experience from a drugstore candy bar, it’s satiates ones desire for something luxurious and delicious in a completely different way. I’m not saying one little piece will suffice, as that would be untrue for me personally, but less can truly be more. In addition, Dick Taylor’s bars are so beautiful, with their intricate scrollwork, that the aesthetic pleasure I derive from looking at them enhances my gustatory joy.”
